What does John 1:29 mean to you?

[Hammster]

Adam said that?

What?

 

[Lulav]

What?

Really, monosyllabic utterances are not conducive to meaningful conversation.

I know what I said. What I don’t understand is why you asked what you asked since it doesn’t have anything to do with what I said..

John's use of the word "world" is very interesting. He mostly means it as the domain of Satan or the non-believing world.

Some really interesting uses of this word are here:

John 12:46–47 CSB17
“I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me would not remain in darkness. If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.”

1 John 5:18–20 CSB17
“We know that everyone who has been born of God does not sin, but the one who is born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and the whole world is under the sway of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know the true one. We are in the true one—that is, in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.”

Emphasis mine in both.

If you know what you said that how can you say it doesn't have anything to do with what you said?

Q. Who does scripture say is responsible for out sin problem?
A. Adam

So what I said " Adam said that?" makes perfect sense, to me anyways.

I never said that Adam said anything. Why claim that I did?

Well scripture doesn't write itself, so the way you worded it one had to figure it meant the only one who could have.

You are not making any sense. I can’t even begin to figure out how to respond to that.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.​

Specifically the highlighted part.

He sets things right in His fallen and wayward creation. He forgives sin and empowers us to overcome it now, by the Spirit He gives us as we enter fellowship with Him, the very purpose of our faith.
